Question 953640
I'm in your age category- you caught me on a good day
---------------
The circumference of the sphere would be:
{{{ C = 2*pi*r }}}
You are given:
{{{ r = d/2 }}}
{{{ r = 14/2 }}}
{{{ r = 7 }}}
and
{{{ C= 44 }}} in
---------------
{{{ C = 2*pi*r }}}
{{{ 44 = 2*pi*7 }}}
{{{ 44 = 14pi }}}
{{{ 44 = 43.98 }}}
So, {{{ 44 }}} is pretty close to {{{ 14pi }}}
---------------
The formula for the area of a sphere is: {{{ A = 4*pi*r^2 }}}
( looked it up ) where {{{ r }}} is the radius of the sphere
{{{ A = 4*pi*7^2 }}}
{{{ A = 4*49*pi }}}
{{{ A = 615.752 }}} in2
( so, actually, all you needed was the radius to find surface area )
